• Time based tasks: These are those tasks which need to be carried out at
a specific time. For e.g. Taking medicine at 8 a.m. every day. To remind
ourselves of this kind of tasks, we can set an alarm with a reminder at the
specific time.
• Location based tasks: These are those tasks which need to be
performed at a specific location. For e.g. You have to buy grocery at the
convenient store nearest to your home while returning from the workplace.
• In such case, setting an alarm triggered by time may not be
appropriate if you are not sure when you will be passing by the
convenient store. This motivates us to use a place reminder.
That is, in the above scenario, we would like the alarm to beep
and show a reminder when we are getting close to the
convenient store.
➢INTRODUCTION
• Location-based services or LBS refer to applications which use the geographical position
of a mobile device in order to provide services. In it, a positioning component is usually
needed to determine the location of user's mobile device. Most of the current LBS
services do not require users to input location manually. It rather uses internet connection
and GPS provided by the smart phone manufacturer services to learn about the user’s
current location.
• There are two major phases:- • Obtaining the current location of the user. • Utilize the
obtained information to provide the user a specific service.
➢ The process of a LBS service:-
STEP 1- The user sends a service request using the application running
on mobile device.
STEP 2- The service request, with user's current location obtained from
the positioning component(here , GPS data) is sent to service server via
the mobile communication network.
STEP 3 and 4- The service server requests geographic database and
other related database to get required information.
STEP 5- The requested information is sent to user via mobile
communication network.
